Vena Solutions Finds Its True North with CaliberMind

Vena Solutions, a fast-growing SaaS company specializing in FP&A, faced challenges in understanding the full impact of their marketing efforts. By partnering with CaliberMind, they gained data-driven clarity, earned more marketing budget, and built confidence in their strategy.

"A CFO doesn’t see one ad and sign a contract. There are layers: people, content, conversations—that our CRM couldn’t capture."

-Andre Proulx, Vice President, Revenue Operations at Vena Solutions

The Challenge: Scaling without Sight

Vena Solutions had a partial view of their marketing performance. While they knew certain channels and events performed well, the single-touch attribution model couldn’t accurately reflect the complexity of modern B2B purchases.

“A CFO doesn’t see one ad and sign a contract,” said Andre Proulx, VP of Revenue Operations. “There are layers—people, content, conversations—that our CRM couldn’t capture.”

Vena Solution wanted to avoid paying the cost of not knowing. Without a holistic view, they risked overinvesting in flashy but ineffective programs – or worse, cutting efforts that were quietly nurturing deals over months or even years. They needed a solution that could illuminate the entire buyer journey.

How CaliberMind Transformed Vena’s Revenue Strategy

“Every marketer has a theory. CaliberMind helps us test ours. When you can do that, you stop playing defense and start leading the strategy.”

1. Multi-Touch Attribution That Makes Sense

CaliberMind enabled Vena to attribute value across all meaningful interactions, not just the first or last touch. This included:

  • Whitepaper downloads
  • LinkedIn ad views
  • Webinar attendance

 

2. Buying Group Visibility

Understanding that deals close through committees, not individuals, CaliberMind showed which personas engaged, when, and how. This empowered sales to:

  • Prioritize key decision-makers like CFOs
  • Involve IT and other stakeholders as engagement patterns emerged

 

3. Event Impact with Depth

Vena’s event strategy matured beyond measuring attendance. With CaliberMind, they could:

  • Assess influence on pipeline
  • Identify long-tail event impact
  • Allocate budget to high-conversion events

 

4. Measuring the Unmeasurable: Podcast Attribution

Their podcast, The CFO Show, was previously untrackable. With CaliberMind, they observed:

  • A 17% month-over-month spike in CFO engagement after launch
  • Correlation strong enough to justify reinvestment

 

5. Data That Earns You Budget

The Vena marketing team now enters board meetings with:

  • Data on average touchpoints per deal
  • ROI models for budget planning
  • Proof of influence, not just activity


With CaliberMind, the Vena team moved beyond hunches. They now walk into board meetings with proof. Not vanity metrics or first-touch guesswork—true impact. They know how many touches a winning deal tends to have. They can model the ROI of a budget increase. And they’ve earned more marketing funding year over year because of it.
